In short, this book is about wounded characters doing their best to heal each other with love. Ashley captures every possible emotion for the readers to experience: we get annoyed at how incompetent Maggie is, astonished by Grace’s unrequited love for her mother, compassionate towards the recovering Eva, warmed by Luca’s forever-loving family, etc.

I sort of feel like doorbells are as useless as landline telephones. I mean, if you’re going to come over, wouldn’t you just text me? And if you don’t have my number to text me, do I even want you coming over?

Wow.

This book deserves so much more attention! I finished it in less than a day and was left feeling very, very loved. It was written in a similar format as The Perks of Being a Wallflower was, as both protagonists dealt with mental health issues by writing letters to strangers, but that is not to say that these books were at all alike in contents.

I hate when assholes have talent. I want to live in a world where good people rule at everything and shitty people suck at everything.

Okay, I really like this book. It hit home so hard. Also, I am an aching and happy mess hours after finishing the book.
